Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I was released from wearing my cg at my follow up...
I was released from wearing my cg at my follow up appt this last Tuesday and given the okay to resume regular activities. It was also the first day I've been able to wear a bra in the last two weeks. (I am posting pics of my back before and two weeks after wearing a bra, the difference is amazing even with all of the swelling that is still present).
I have noticed that my arms and back are pretty sensitive and I get sore by the end of the day. Like most people, I have the painful lumps and bumps, but heat seems to help them. I also have really tight areas where it almost feels like my skin is going to tear. It's a really strange feeling.
Overall, I'm feeling really good and looking forward to seeing my results continue to get better and better.

Tomorrow is my 2 week follow up, and I am SOOOO...
Tomorrow is my 2 week follow up, and I am SOOOO ready to ditch this compression garment. The bruising is all nearly gone and the incision sites are healing well. I am currently only wearing bandaids over the incisions that are near my pits as the compression garment tends to rub in those areas. I anticipate not covering them once I'm released from wearing the CG. Did I mention that I'm actually looking forward to wearing a bra again?! I am excited to be able to workout and get back into my routine again, as I've found that by not being able to workout that I'm also not eating very healthily and am gaining weight. I'm trying not to let it stress me out too much because I know once I'm back to "normal" that I'll be able to take it off quickly and lose the extra weight that I've been wanting to lose.
I am looking forward to my appointment though, as I find reassurance in my results when I speak with the doctor or his incredibly wonderful nurse (she's honestly the sweetest person I've ever met!). I think just hearing that I'm progressing normally and getting their photos and measurements will be a big reassurance that my results are good and getting better every day. I see the change, but some days with the swelling (and slight weight gain) I start to question it. I'm also looking forward to spending the day kid-free with my hubby. :)
I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you may have about my journey! Take care!

Posted pics a couple days ago. Adding my 1 week...
Posted pics a couple days ago. Adding my 1 week pics today. They aren't the greatest since I took them myself. Feeling pretty good overall. The swelling is subsiding and the itching has started, so looks like I'm healing up well. Really looking forward to my two week follow up appointment on Tuesday, so that hopefully I can stop wearing the compression garment and get back to my workout routine and start feeling back to normal.
